Western Treatment PLant Werribee, Victoria

[Russell Woodford <>]

It was the other end of the Plant that was locked on Sunday, by all accounts, causing some real problems for Twitchathon teams.

It took us a while to find the Pink-Ears.  They were more or less in a couple of groups, on the NW side of L Borrie.  And it took us until the last couple of hours to find Black-shouldered Kite - they were noticeably absent from most roadsides.

Cheers

Russell

Maybe there were some near the nesting boxes or maybe they are all away breeding!  The other notable absence was Black-shouldered Kite, I think it is the first time I can remember not having a tick beside the Kite.
